"Samantha Who?"

9:30 p.m. Mondays on ABC
Episode: Oct. 22
After her near-death coma experience, Samantha's still in the dark about her past, returns to a job she knows nothing about (real estate) and struggles to deal with her wacky parents.
After a momentary flashback, in which she remembers that her boss was a letch and she was a witch, she confronts him and "the new Sam" asserts herself to regain some dignity.
Two nice sentimental moments show Sam's new-found sensitivity. She sends her childhood buddy, Dina, the flower bouquet she never delivered when Dina's mother passed away and takes the time to sit and talk with the mother she has shunned for two years.
Christina Applegate's appeal comes with her charm and natural feel for the role. Her acting is effortless, and the scene where she discovers that she owes $30,000 in shoe and handbag bills prompts her to squeal, "Did the world convert to shoe-based currency?"

She has great comic timing, and I 'm rooting for this sitcom to catch on just so we as viewers can enjoy watching her light up the small screen.
